Where ls. the right place for a sa- \ loon? Where is the saloon wanted? If not the fashionable, mercantile es- i tabliehments, what other kinds of business are likely to be helped by the proximity of gin mills? Let some one name them. Is it the baker, the tailor, the shoemaker, the butcher, the ? milliner, the bookseller? Do any of j these find lt of particular advantage ? to their trade to have a grog-seller Mme and open up a shop beside them? j What surroundings are necessary in I order to justify the opening of resorts | for loafers, or drunkard mills, of den? ? for the propagation of vice and crime" What neighborhood shall be selected '? for the debauching of men. for the de- ? Btruction of families, for the makin:: ot paupers and felons? Which is th? worst, to open a saloon near a school j or a church, or to open it next door to a home, in front of a home, over a j home or under a home? What is there I that should make a grogshop a stench j in the nostrils of the public on one j -street and a sweet-smelling savor on j another? Is a saloon on Fifth ave nue calculated to dc greater harm than a beer dive on Mulberry street? If the wealthy and powerful cannot endure the presence of the grogshop, ! why should it be thrust upon the poor j End weak? Are the tenement dis tricts-the homes o*f those already i ?eep down In poverty, squalor and misery-the proper places to set the saloons? Are they needed to help raen live purer lives, to make happier j homes, to strengthen the weak, to ! cheer the downcast, to guide the er- j ring? Who shall take upon himself the responsibility of declaring where j the people shall be cursed with fhe j presence of grogshops and where the j people shall not be cursed? These, j lt seems to us. are the practical ques- j lions, and we should like to have them .sewered.-Aroostock Republican. WORLD RAPIDLY GOING MAD j English Authority on Lunacy and Nervous Diseases Makes Start ling Statement on Drink. "The world ls rapidly going mad." cays Dr. Forbes Winslow, an English authority on lunacy and nervous dis eases. "Today there is one certified lunatic in every 269 of our population, and If the increase in luna.cv contln D68 at the same rate as it has done for the past fifty years, there will be -ene lunatic in every four of the popu lation by A. D. 2159. One quarter of the world will be mad. I have no pa tience with those who ascribe this terrible condition of affairs to In creased competition, and the wear and tear of modern life. It ls mere shelv ing of responsibility, and the true canees of insanity are the vices, not the worries of civilization." He then fives the causes of insanity In the or der in which he believes they should he placed: "First, drink; second, clg *ret smoking; third, heredity." and ?dds. "Until the drink question has heen properly dealt with . . . the na tion will continue to go from bad to .worse." ASHAMED OF THEIR BUSINESS -Saloonkeeper Has No Use of Camera to Illustrate Quality of Liquor That He Sells. The camera is used for many pur poses. Pictures are taken of school children to illustrate the products of the schools. Granges get their mem bers out in a group and have them snapped so that they can proudly dis play their membership before their friends. Farmers have pictures taken of their cattle and horses, big pump kins and fine fruits. Grandfathers rejoice to be photographed with their grandchildren, business places and factories display their employees and products with pride. But did you ever see a saloonkeeper *who wanted to photograph and pub lish the product of his Baloon? You never saw a photo of the broken men ?nd women displayed in a saloon win dow, did you? Or a picture of a bright hoy and a wrecked man labeled. "Be fore and After Taking Our Brand of Boote?"-Lisbon (Ohio) Patriot. * Water ls Powerful. Water is the strongest drink. It ?drives mills.

Tompkins, E CONFEDERATES ^ > HOJJ REIIKION Chattanooga Making Elaborate Preparations Something of the Arrangements to Care for the Confederate Veterans Big Attendance Expected. Chattanooga. Tenn., April 1.-This city is preparing to entertain the largest crowd that has attended a re union of the Confederate veterans and Sons of Veterans since the organiza tion of the association It is a matter of history that the first steps toward organizing the southern survivors of the Civil war were taken in Chatta nooga. The New Orleans meeting, at which the organization was effected, by the election of Gen. John B. Gor don commander-in-chief, resulted, in large measure, from agitation started here by Capt. J. F. Shipp, and others, for an association of Confederates. The "New Orleans meeting elected Gen. John B. Gordon to head the organiza tion and he called the first reunion of the association for Chattanooga July 3. 4 and 5. 18P0. Cnder all of the cir cumstances the people of Chattanooga feel that it is their duty to e;:ert every effort to make the coming reunion a brilliant success, lt is certainly their pleasure to do so. The date o? the reunion is May 27 29 inclusive. Only two months re main in which the work of the organi zation may be done, but it is well un der way. The various committees have been appointed, and are at work in their respective spheres. Informa tion gathered from ali sections of the south indicates that fully 150,000 peo ple will be here. The passenger departments of all the railroads having lines entering Chattanooga, report that already there is much interest in the coming reunion. Inquiries are received every day about rates, hotel accommodations and the progress pf the work incident to the entertainment of the veterans and the thousands of visitors that will be here. The head of the passenger department of one of the largest rail way systems in the south, has served notice on the people of Chattanooga that a record breaking crowd may bo expected. The Confederate veterans met here in their first reunion in 1890, twenty ! three years ago. Chattanooga at that I time was but poorly prepared to care j for the visitors. Hotel accommoda i tions were inferior, local transporta tion facilities poor and the people were j suffering financially from a collapsed boom. However, that reunion was j voted a success. ? The Chattanooga of today was built I ginee 1890. It is now a city of 100,000 j with the best of hotel accommodations j and first-class local transportation fa I cilitie?\ It has twenty-six hotels, one SCHOOL ?T GIVEN ON ONDAY NIGHT LAST ESTRA. _._School ._.The Dai stet isit to the School.

The hcH ^tels, boarding houses and private famiies will furnish entertainment for 150.000 visitors. The restaurant service is first class and adequate to any demand. The Confederate veterans will bs camped at Jackson park, a delightful resort almost within the business dis tricts of the city. This camp ha.*- been named "Camp Stewart." in honor of the late Gen. A. P. Stewart, the much beloved and noted southern chieftain, who won fame or; the greatest battle fields of the Civil war and spent his declining years in Chattanooga as a member of the Chickamauga National Park commission. The motion to name the camp for him was put by Mayor T. C. Thompson, and was unanimously adopted. Chattanooga is putting great energy into the preparation for the reunion, and every indication is that it will ba one of the most delightful meetings the veterans have ever enjoyed. The environments of Chattanooga are idea! for a reunion of the Confed erate veterans. The battlefields are the chief points of interest, of course, but they are not all by any means. Chattanooga is a modern city of 100. 000 population, with a greater number of manufacturing plants than any city in the southern slates, turning out more than sever, hundred different products that go practically all over the vorld. It has a number of sky er rapers, and other modern buildings. Vhe climate is ideal. The mountain scenery is not excelled in any other sec tion of the south. Some years ago Prince Henry, of Prussia, spent a day in Chattanooga and made a trip to the top of historic Lookout mountain. After viewing ?he panorama from that eminence, he exclaimed: "There is nothing finer in all Europe." Every tourist who has travelled in European countries passes the same eulogy on these mountains. The Confederate veterans, however, know what they are. Thousands of them fought over this field, and it will be a pleasure to them to revisit the scenes of the car nage through which thev passed in 1863. For the purpose of entertaining the reunion on a broad scale. Chattanooga is raising from $50,000 to $75,000. This fund is practically in hand, and the 'various committees are rapidly closing np all contracts and rushing the preparations to conclusion. The Southeastern Passenger asso ciation has granted a rate of one cent a mile each way for the reunion-the lowest rate that is ever allowed foi any cause. The Rock Hill and Hackney biter Hes are as popular a? ever becaus they have the quality in them. VV ave juHt received a ear of eacl ?nd. H&??JA. Ramsey & Jones. ATTRACTIVE NESTS FOR HENS I Discarded Grocery Boxes, Such at Used for Soap or Condensed Milk, May Be Used. Nests that are attractive to hens because of their privacy, sanitary as to chartcter and convenient for the fathering of eggs are the claim of every one who keeps fowls either in a limited number or ou a large scale, says a writer in the New York Tribune Farmer. Various are the nest arrangements employed by the different poultrymen, and varied in character must they continue to be to suit the requirements of the fowls and the plan of the poultry house. But no style of nest that is at all practical can fail to be suggestive to any poultryman who has not yet so)ved the nest problem to his liking. The nesis herewith described are in tended to suggest rather than to in vite exaei imitation. A convenient style of nest is shown in illustration No. 1. The nests are arranged along the wall, with the open sides inward, space enough be inj; allowed a; rh* ends lo admit the Jowls. A hinged cover at the top m?kes egg gathering a simple mat-i ter. These nests may be improvised 1 frop; wooden boxes naiied together, one side being removed and t 1K hinged cover hung over them. Sup port is furnished by four uprights which raise the nests about one foot above ground. The nest boxes should be as smooth as possible, and painted inside and out. Another convenient arrangement is Ihe row o! nests accessible to the fowls from the inside of the building, but projecting beyond its wall, and V " J Convenient Nests. having a binged cover which may be lifted from the ouaside to permit the gathering of eggs. If necessary a padlock may be used to secure this cover. Style No. 2 is preferrable to style No. 1! in cold climates. The nests are along tht inside wall, supported above the ground and open at the tcp. A slide in the wall allows the gathering of eggs from outside. Gro cery boxee, such as soap or con densed milk boxes, may serve for the nests, being so divided that two nests are formed from one box. They should be movable so that they may be readily cleaned. FRESH-A?R HOUSES FOR EGGS Excellent Results Secured by Leaving Screen Door Open-Wheat Straw Used for Litter. Some years ago while trying to make poultry pay on a ^mall scale. I tried the open-air houHe. By making a screen door at one end and leaving this open day and night I secured twice as many eggs as in my other bouses r.ot so provided, says a writer in an exchange. Now that 1 am keep ing fowls on a lower scale I always use some kind of fresh air house with good results. Wheat straw ls spread Ju the chicken house to the depth of six inches. In this the feed is scat tered, oats, wheat, barley sorghum seed. etc.. for morning and noon feeds. The evening meal consists of a mash of boiled potatoes thickened with bran, beef meal, a little ground oats and cornmeal slightly salted. After the fowls have eaten all they want I feed par corn for a finish. Beef scrap, charcoal, grit and oyster shell are con stantly before them. The straw Is cleaned out every day and replaced with fresh the next morning. If the weather is bad and the fowls have to stay in doors. I replace twice a day. I have no trouble In getting eggs in winter from bred-to-lay white leghorn and white Wyandotte fowls. Both va rieties are good. White Eggs. For the fancy white egg trade the requirements are freshness-indicated by almost perfect fullness of the shell and strong body-uniformly large size and chalk-white color. The most com mon defects are shrinkage .and, in summer, weak body and lack of size: then many shippers let cream-tinted pggs go in with the whites and this Injures the sale except in competition with general supplies.
